A Harare woman, Shamiso Zuze, has filed a suit, demanding US$100 per month from her former partner, Givemore Gonye, whom she accused of causing her significant emotional and physical pain during their two-year relationship.
Zuze brought the case to the
Harare Civil Court, arguing that Gonye’s actions, including alleged infidelity
and disrespect, warrant financial compensation.
In her court statement, Zuze
claimed that Gonye frequently disrespected her by bringing other women to her
home, which led to confrontations. She recounted one instance where she
reportedly caught him with another woman, sparking a physical altercation. “He
was in the habit of bringing different women to my house... he disrespected me,
and I deserve compensation for the pain,” Zuze stated.
Gonye countered her claims,
alleging that Zuze had been financially dependent on him and often made
unreasonable demands. He further accused Zuze of blocking his attempts to end
the relationship and making false claims about his alleged infidelity. “She told
me I am her only source of income,” he stated, adding that she refused to end
the relationship due to the financial support he provided.
After hearing both sides,
Magistrate Judith Taruvinga issued a reciprocal peace order, instructing both
Zuze and Gonye to avoid further confrontations and maintain peace.
